| 2. | See the current list limits here. These limits may go up or down depending on the amount of work involved in creating and maintaining these pages.

| 5. | Each member has their own trading page. Upon publication of your page, your username and password will be activated. An email will be sent to you informing you that your membership has been activated, and that you are now a member of the Trading Pub. |
| 6. | You may start a trade by sending an email to the person that has a car listed that you wish to obtain. How you resolve the trade is between you and the other party. The H.O. Beer Car Website will not become involved, and will not be responsible for any mis-communication between trading parties. |
| 7. | Once a trade is consummated, you should send an email asking that the traded car(s) be removed from your list. Please include your display name, and the catalog number(s) that we assigned, in your email |

What you send me will be copied and pasted into your list. We don't edit your submissions. See the sample listing at the bottom of this page. |
| 2. | We will supply a "Catalog" number for the listing. This will give each car in your listing an easily identifiable unique number. |
| 3. | Submitted photographs will be posted with the listing, providing that the submitted photo is the property of the the person listing the car. Submission of a photograph will automatically give permission to the H.O. Beer Car Website to use the photograph in other locations within the website.

| 7. | The Traders Pub is for H.O. beer, wine, and whiskey cars .... We will not list anything else. ( Root beer, ginger beer, and sarsaparilla cars MAY be included. ) |
| 8. | The purpose of the Traders Pub is to provide a place for H.O. Beer Car collectors to trade excess cars that they own, for cars that they need. It is NOT a place for dealers to sell their cars.

| Cat. # | Production Company | Base Manufacturer | Set # | Manf # | Common Name | Clic on Pic | Additional Markings | Car # | Conditions of car and box ( If Applicable ) |
| JD1 | Main Line Railways | Varney | MR-5 | Blatz | Pic Needed | Old Heidelberg | URTX 23104 | Perfect car .. Perfect box ... From 1944 production | |
| JD2 | Athearn | Athearn | ?? | Blatz | Pic Needed | Old Heidelberg | URTX 23107 | Maybe an old Globe car ... Red "Old Heidelberg" in a black stripe ... Screw in coupler pockets ... missing one coupler, otherwise near perfect | |
| JD3 | Varney | Varney | ?? | Mr Boh | Pic Needed | National Brewing | 1885 | This car is absolutely perfect except for the following insignificant details: the wheels are missing ... The couplers are missing ... The roof is missing ... The doors and all of the steps are missing. The decals have flaked off, but I kept the decal flakes in a little jar if you want them ... I tried to weather the car after the decals fell off, but I guess I used the wrong paint can, cause the car is solid black now. No other problems are visible. Complete with careful packing in a used kleenex box. | |
| JD4 | Hinkenhofen | Dinklenoctor | ?? | Splat beer | Pic Needed | Made from the backwaters of the Louisiana bayou | UCKY 1234 | Brown car with brown lettering and brown decals. Wheels and axles are brown. Has a brown cow on each door. May still be some feathers on inside of car from the time that I tried to give my parakeet a train ride. He wasn't in the car when the train came out of the tunnel, and I still haven't found him. That was fourty three years ago, and he might be dead now. I keep putting bird feed in the tunnel though, you know, just in case. |
